10 TV: Police said a man who robbed a north side gas station early Wednesday may be responsible for other robberies. The man entered the Shell gas station, located at 3970 Morse Road, at about 2 a.m… He demanded cash from the store clerk and slammed a tire iron on the counter, police said. The man walked behind the counter and removed cash from the drawer. Investigators believed the same man was responsible for a similar robbery at a Speedway gas station, located at 4240 Morse Road, on Tuesday morning. The suspect is described as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall with a thin build. He is 40 to 50 years old and has a shaved head. Anyone with information is asked to call Columbus police at 614-465-4665.
Technically, this doesn’t fit into our count… With that said, this is at least the third robbery spree in four weeks…
NBC 4: A petition seeking voter approval of casinos in four Ohio cities has been submitted to the state attorney general for review, and state lawmakers are exploring a separate plan that would allow slots at racetracks without going to the ballot. The Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee says the casino proposal submitted Wednesday would lead to $1 billion in private investment, $600 million in tax revenue and 20,000 new jobs. Casinos would be built in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo. If Attorney General Richard Cordray approves proposed constitutional amendment language, the group will begin gathering signatures toward placing the issue on the November ballot.
Not another constitutional amendment! Pass gambling through the legislature.
NBC 4: It doesn’t take long to see the effects of the recession around Central Ohio. Joseph Gessese has a job working on mortgages, but said he’s watched far too many people lose their jobs… So he created http://www.OhioStateList.com with his brother Faris. The Web site brings those two groups together—from posting your resume to finding jobs available now. The Web site breaks down jobs by zip code and with more than 2,000 people already signed up, all that’s left is finding success stories. The Web site is free and video resumes will be available soon.
I applaud Joseph… This may be a lousy economy… However, he realizes that out of great crisis, comes great opportunity…
